Hotel Employee with Down Syndrome Fired after Years of Service
Wyndham Hotel employee, Mark Stanganelli, who also has Down syndrome, was fired recently after working at the hotel for 15 years.
The Wyndham Hotel in Andover had employed Mark Stanganelli, who has Down syndrome, for many years and he was paid a symbolic paycheck, $24 every two weeks. And he couldn't have been happier.
But, recently, the Greater Lawrence Education Collaborative, who got him the job 15 years ago, said that the hotel was no longer an appropriate place for him to work, according to an article on WCVB.
Stanganelli, who is in his 40s, would wash the silver at the Wyndham Hotel and he truly loved working.
